Mother Teresa edit

This article is under peer review for upgrade to GA status. Please review the article and add your comments below. The article had been a frequent victim of vandalism and spurious edits. It had also lacked proper citation of facts. Since then we have removed vandalism, copy edited most of the article and added citations. The final sections of the article may require some additional cleanup. Your thoughts? Majoreditor 21:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks you for your observations and comments. I will need to check out some books in order to act upon some of these suggestions. One question. Which subsection(s) do you suggest removing? Majoreditor 18:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Critics, external links, and Commemorations could all be converted to free flowing prose. =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:17, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've started on her early life. Majoreditor 03:39, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Aksi_great (talk)

I haven't looked at the article completely. Just commenting about a thing which striked me first on seeing the article. I do not think that using Image:Mother_Teresa2.gif is a valid fair-use. You are not using the image to illustrate the stamp in question. A valid fairuse for the stamp would only be in an article Stamps released in memory of Mother Teresa, or an entire paragraph in that article devoted to just that stamp. Please leave a message on my talk page if you still have some doubts about why the image should not be used. But do read WP:FU before that. - Aksi_great (talk) 14:45, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also think that Image:Mmgrfr5.jpg has an incorrect copyright tag. I have marked it as having no source. So probably you should remove it till its copyright status is verified. - Aksi_great (talk) 14:51, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I will examine it later today. Majoreditor 17:28, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
